I accept the motivation for commercial organisations to publish non-commercial material is that it includes their branding but I don't think that's necessarily a reason to ignore it if it is actually useful. In this case the guide doesn't directly promote the company's products (it's not like they'r...

Re: New Message Board Platform
There have indeed been a few developments during the few years you refer to Barry. Partly, upgrades to phpbb meant that improved features made it worth losing our mods to the old forum, some mods are now standard features and the remaining ones are no longer important.

If anyone recalls John Landreth, they may be interested to know his son has been in touch to say that his father enjoyed the photos in our web site's memorabilia section. He's not too well now and they gave him a real boost especially the tramps run picture.

I read somewhere that the optimum time to buy flights was something like 56 days in advance, it probably varies depending on the destination though.
